In article , "Arnie Macy"

Many of them met the real ones sixty years ago and didn't survive. Yet you had enough "Polish ancestors" that survived so that you were created... Are ANCESTORS now to be a "credential" for qualified commentary on amateur radio?!?!? Radio as a communications medium was first demonstrated in 1896 in Italy and in 1896 in Russia. Electronic history doesn't have much to say about Polish radio. The acronym "NAZI" is formed from German words meaning (literal translation) 'National Socialist Party.' [National Socialistiche Partei] In the pronunciation of the German word for 'National' it sounds to have a Z in it, therefore the acronym has a Z in it. You seem to use the word with abandon, without having a single clue as to what it *really* means, and to whom it refers. In colloquial American English, the word 'nazi' (all lower-case) has come to mean nearly any in-your-face extremist group wanting Their Way (or else!). Hence "smoking nazis" and feminist "nazis" sometimes referred to as "feminazis" as two examples. Do you need any more help on etymology? LHA |
